The service was really good and the menu selection choices was outstanding. The prices were reasonable and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this restaurant to anybody. No

Nice clean cafe with friendly staff. We had the Cuban sandwich ? all the way and pressed, very good and authentic.

I came in skeptical based off of some other cautionary reviews, however, after trying several things from their menu (from 2 visits), Such as the Medianoche (egg bread - cuban sandwich), empanada, picadillo y arroz, I’ve come to find out that this place is a hidden gem.The sandwich was among my favorites, and the picadillo and rice was really good. The empanada also delivered along with their croquetas. I only wish the croquetas were a little cheaper along with their overall menu—but everybody’s gotta eat!Very nice ladies working, and all seemed to know what they were doing. It was a very welcoming experience and luckily I didn’t encounter any of the things low reviews warned about (((soupy beans, undercooked rice, dry pork, etc)))I’ll definitely be back (once my pockets align)
The staff are so friendly and welcoming. The Cuban sandwiches were amazing as well. Definitely coming back here when in Tampa in the future! Also, didn’t try anything but the sandwich, but the rest of the food looked and smelled amazing!!

Absolutely delicious. I got the baked chicken with black beans and yellow rice. The chicken was a huge leg/thigh quarter, which was perfectly seasoned, flavorful, and juicy. The side was equally delicious.Want to learn what customer service looks like? Pepo's Cafe will show you exactly what you're looking for.

I don’t like posting negative comments because of the impact on the small businesses but just picked up 2 orders one with ribs and one with pork and it’s really bad. Beans taste like they just came out of a can and got heated up.

Today I brought my wife to Pepo's for breakfast, as I have done for many years prior to covid. I have never felt so disrespected as we waited at the table and watched many other customers receive friendly service, yet my wife and I were neglected. The restaurant tables were mostly unoccupied and Noone would come take our order. Perhaps it's because they didn't approve of mixed couples. After almost 30 minutes of Noone taking our order we left the premises and none of the employees gave us more than a short glance.
